POLL: Do you ever invoke a diety even if you don't believe in one?

[morkinva]

I find myself doing it all the time. Here are some examples:



**sneeze** God Bless You

Thank God it's Friday

God...? I swear if I can feel better I'll never EVER have another drink again!

God bless America !

Oh, Jesus H. Christ !!

**hot babe passes by** Good God Jim !!

 

[pyonir]

i do it sometimes. most all with a cuss word anyway...but i never say like god bless you and stuff like that.

 

[Maleficus]

never seen a person who doesn't.

<---not a heathen

 

[Spoooon]

Thank Satan it's Friday

 

[vi edit]

All the time. It's just so ingrained into my dialect it's hard to stop it.

Every so often I'll say "May Zeus pour lightning bolts down your arse" or "Freakin' Thor!!! She's hot!"

But other than that, nothing really...

I also find myself saying things like "God bless you" and "Jesus Christ"

"God bless you" is something my parents made me say when I was little and now it's stuck.

Actually...I do say "I swear to Buddha, this or that..."

My parents used to smack me for "swearing to God" so I swore to Buddha...tongue in cheek of course...

Somehow, it got stuck in my vocabulary and people just look at me weird when I say it

Ouija boards never worked for me...






BTW..
What does the H. stand for in Jesus H. Christ ?

Sweet creeping zombie Jesus yes, but not very often. These days a well-placed "darn" is more startling to people than a deity invocation or word you can't say on TV anyway
